bassmaster,it seems a bit strange that you do not want even an area as broad as race point,head of the medow,herring cove,coast guard,north truro,ect... to be mentioned.To me this is the stuff that makes reading these post exciting!I do not want to fish in anybodys spot.nor would i go there just because someone caught fish there.I am bowhunter and i know all about not wanting someone in your spot when you get there.but i will at least tell you what county i hunt in.so you too can appreciate the story that i might be telling.:confused:

But it could be worse, we could turn into the fishing reports in the newspaper... :D Oh yeah! There's PLENTY of bass In Newfoundland right now! yupyup!

so if I take the Time to work the Back beaches and find where the bass are ,Im spossed to tell the world?
Not........
some Guys actually work for thier spots and it stinks to have an exact location handed out on the net.
see part of the sport is finding Your own fish, How You spossed to learn how to be consistant? By following? Not Me I say.
PM's are good for this stuff If You want to share spots with some one.
thank god the sands shift and the Bass are swapping out How there feeding.
Im not digging at no one its How I feel and the old school will never leave Me:smash:

Well, if you told someone about where you fish, and they went and babbled "oh yeah... so and so fishes there all the time!" I can understand, but just smiling and ignoring when people talk about areas is the best policy.

How many people know that Hadley's Harbor holds cows all season? :P

I think it's OK to work Towns into reports. I fish Narragansett but I won't necessarily say where, I'll fish Truro - same thing but if I'm fishing a tight spot on this spit of rocks in that town by that river over there I don't think I'm obligated to tell the world where I am. And I'm one of the guys with an internet site :D ... It's a balance. "Got 15 fish to 30#s in Hull last night" covers 15+ miles of shoreline, some privacy & some reasonable knowledge for others. "Got 15 fish to 30#s on the triangle rock 57 paces west of pole 580 behind Mary's Diner on an East tide casting 77degrees with a 8 count swing at 3:08 pm today - be sure to be there tomorrow afternoon at 3:50..." will overwhelm a spot... It's finding a BALANCE.... If you want to read the week old Fisherman Reports on where the fish MIGHT have been OR read the Friday Globe & Herald :laughs: , well - you know :)

Again - not trying to add fuel to the flames, but it's balance...

I'm waiting for the "glob" to say that the big ones are in Acushnet River... that would truely make my day.

So they glow a little.... :cool:

Try booking a trip on a charter boat, and then plugging the coordinates of some of the capt's spots into a hand-held GPS, and see whether you ride or swim home ;)

don't need GPS coords... just good points of reference ;)

Basically I just wanted to know if I had a chance of getting some nice sized fish.:confused: :confused: :confused: The fact of the matter is that peoples personalities are different, so there really is no need to throw shots at people (unless it's my brother). Since I have joined this web-site I have tried to utilize peoples knowledge the best I can. Hopefully, I can return this favor to others in the future. If you think about it we are all in the same boat (or on the same shore). We love to fish! So even though there are evident differences, let's keep things in perspective and remember what keeps us connected. I love you guys!!! and girls (sorry ladies, I should have put you first)

RM - there are small keepers in that area - whether bigger fish show, have shown, or moved will be determined by wet line - how's dat :D ?

this is always a touchy subject and I try to stay away from it but the fact is we've ALL slipped at one time or another....but dont for one minute think that spots get exposed simply from internet blab.....posting spots or whatever you want to call it.

Funny how you can open up an issue of a certain fishing mag (that many of you I am sure subscribe to) and these spots are plastered all over the pages....but I never here anyone bitching about that.

I try to keep things quite myself....but it still burns me when how some people get royally bashed...(some deserve it some dont). and this doesnt just apply to this thread in particular, by the way.

If there are places to fish and people fishing it...its only a matter of time.....no matter how careful you think youve been......people are smart enough to figure these things out on there own....and eventually....they will.....

food for thought...your secret spot was probably someone elses secret spot and you probably pi$$ed them off when you showed up! EVEN if you found it all by yourself!!!


Now that I have put my own head on the chopping block.......go for it.....

Now, that's a report!

Spots is spots, but best when you find 'em.

Towns, and beach names is OK, but don't get too specific, I seen pics posted with trailmarkers, and the hole showing in the background!. OK in January to post that pic, but don't set fire to yourself in season.

Just my .02... fire at will :D

I love ya all like brothers and sisters but I don't want to fish with all of you and all your friends at the same time at the same beach. No offense meant but geez how many members and how many lurkers are here? If we were face to face then that's a different story. otherwise you might as well go to $^*(#^&(*)port.:D
